Summary: genaliases should use temporary aliases-file

Initial Comment:
 
We have so many lists, that rebuilding the aliases-file takes 
more 10 to 20 mintues. -Very long. 
 
genaliases calls postupdate after every list, so that aliases.db 
ist empty at the beginning and grows from list to list. 
 
In this time my MTA Postfix bounces messages, because he 
isn`t able to find  proper aliases for some lists, because 
genaliases has thrown everything away. 
 
It would be MUCH better, if genaliases would call postupdate 
after finishing ALL the lists. That would save a lot of time and 
this would resolve the problem, that the MTA has to be 
stopped when genaliases is started, because aliases.db 
contains all the lists just untill genaliases has finished his job 
and aliases is totally rebuild.
